Take time to vote

"Just A Scoopful" - Jerry Nine

I want you to ponder these questions this week. Would you rather have higher taxes to pay for the government’s overspending? Or would you rather have lower taxes that create more business and in turn create more tax dollars?

Would you rather have more government control or less? Would you rather have someone who wants to control immigration and make immigrants come in legally or do you want the flood gates open to let in 11 million more?

Don’t get me wrong I have several undocumented friends who simply want a better life for their families and who are willing to work. I hope they can..

Our country has fallen away from God at a fast pace. You can call me a hypocrite, and you are probably partially right. The preacher on Sunday said, “Everything that ails America can be cured, but only with Jesus.”

No one says you have to believe like I do or even believe at all. That is what I like about America. I pray we elect the right president, whoever it is. Please vote.

The preacher said this week most of us want to be part-time Christians with full-time benefits.

The cattle market still looks good, with calves off the cow suffering the most. A big area is dry. Please pray for rain.

I heard a gal who was about 40 years old say, “I don’t want any kids.” She said, “I guess I should probably give my kids a call and tell them.”

I thought my wife was being very nice to me by holding the door open for me, but it would have been better if we hadn’t been going 70 miles per hour.
